PREFACE 

These  lessons  are  intended  for  Filipino  school  children 
who  have  completed  a  primer.  They  are  designed  to 
supplement  the  work  done  in  the  First,  Second,  and  Third 
Readers. 

In  preparing  the  lessons  the  authors  have  borne  in 
mind  what  they  consider  to  be  the  actual  needs  of  the  Fili- 
pino boy  and  girl  beginning  the  study  of  the  English  lan- 
guage. Stress  has  been  placed  upon  speaking  and  writing 
simple  English,  and  many  exercises  are  introduced  which 
the  pupils  must  work  out  for  themselves.  These  exercises 
provide  a  thorough  drill  in  the  use  of  the  parts  of  speech 
and  in  their  inflections,  in  spelling,  punctuation,  reproduc- 
tion from  dictation,  composition,  and  letter  writing. 

Formal  rules  and  definitions  have  been  avoided.  Con- 
tinual repetition  and  practice  have  been  insisted  upon, 
because  without  them  real  progress  is  impossible.  The 
sentences  have  been  made  easy,  direct,  and,  it  is  hoped, 
interesting  to  the  Filipino  child.  Care  has  been  taken 
lest  they  become  difficult  too  abruptly.  New  words  have 
been  introduced  gradually  and  are  employed  in  new 
relations  in  subsequent  lessons.

PREFACE 


In  nearly  every  lesson  material  has  been  chosen  with 
which  the  pupils  are  familiar.  This,  it  is  believed, 
removes  the  most  serious  obstacle  which  one  encounters 
in  learning  a  foreign  tongue.  The  average  Filipino  boy 
knows  much  about  kites  and  carabaos,  but  of  dandelions 
and  snowbirds  he  has  not  an  idea.  If  he  must  come 
to  a  mastery  of  English  through  the  phraseology  of  an 
unknown  object  world,  his  task  will  be  difficult,  and  the 
problem  which  confronts  the  teacher  not  an  easy  one. 

Numerous  notes  to  teachers  have  been  placed  at  the 
bottom  of  the  pages.  These  are  intended  for  those  who 
need  them,  and  it  is  believed  that  they  will  be  of  service 
in  saving  time  and  in  suggesting  other  devices  which  the 
teacher  can  introduce  as  occasion  demands.

These  carpenters  are  building  a  house.  They 
work  hard  all  day.  The  roof  that  you  see  is  made 
of  nipa.  Soon  they  will  put  it  on  the  house. 
The  carpenters  make  the  walls  of  nipa  also.  They 
make  the  floor  of  bamboo.  In  their  work  bolos 
and  a  saw  are  used.  Juan,  his  father,  and  his 
mother  will  live  in  this  house.  His  father  is  not

rice.  The  field  is  wet  and  soft,  and  the  men  and 
boys  plant  the  small  stalks  of  rice  in  the  ground. 

The  rain  and  the  sunshine  make  the  rice  grow 
very  fast.  Soon  the  field  is  green  and  beau- 
tiful, but  the  farmers  do  not  cut  the  rice  until 
December. 

In  December  it  does  not  rain.  The  sun  is 
warm  and  shines  brightly.  Now  the  rice  is  ripe.

Mosquitoes  are  small  insects.  There  are  many 
other  kinds  of  insects,  but  we  see  this  kind  every 
day.  They  come  into  our  houses,  although  we  do 
not  like  to  have  them  there. 

Mosquitoes  trouble  us  most  at  night,  because 
they  fly  about  the  lamps  or  candles  which  give 
us  light.  They  are  small  and  fly  very  fast.  Often 
we  cannot  see  them,  but  we  can  feel  their  bite. 
This  is  very  painful  and  sometimes  gives  one  the 
fever.  To  avoid  the  mosquito  many  people  use  a 
bar,  under  which  they  sleep  at  night. 

These  insects  like  to  live  near  a  swamp,  pond, 
or  river;  but  w^e  find  them  also  in  places  far 
from  water.

LESSON  105 

The  ant  and  cockroach,  like  the  mosquito,  are 
insects.  The  ant  is  the  most  common  insect  in 
the  Philippine  Islands.  Great  numbers  of  them 
are  seen  in  our  yards  and  houses.  They  cannot 
fly  like  the  mosquito,  but  they  are  very  trouble- 
some. They  like  sugar  and  other  kinds  of  sweet 
food,  and  will  crawl  into  jars  and  boxes. 

The  red  ant  can  sting,  but  the  sting  is  not  so 
painful  as  the  bite  of  a  mosquito.  The  white  ant 
does  not  sting,  but  sometimes  will  destroy  books, 


126  LANGUAGE  LESSONS 

clothing,  and  even  the  walls  and  floor  of  a  house. 
It  is  said  that  other  ants  do  not  like  the  white 
ant,  and  that  this  is  the  reason  the  white  ant 
builds  its  little  house  wherever  it  goes. 

The  cockroach  is  a  much  larger  insect  than  the 
ant,  and  can  run  very  fast.  It  likes  to  stay  in 
dark,  wet  places.  In  houses  which  are  dry  and 
clean  we  do  not  find  many  cockroaches.  Although 
the  cockroach  is  large  and  ugly,  it  does  not  bite 
or  sting,  and  no  one  need  be  afraid  of  it.

You  know  it  takes  a  letter  about  a  month 
to  go  from  Manila  to  the  United  States.  When 
you  get  this  it  will  be  almost  Christmas.  You 
'will  have  snow  and  ice  then,  and  all  the  girls

pines it  is  never  cold.  The  weather  is  warm  all 
the  year. 

I  told  you  in  my  last  letter  that  Fred  and 
Anna  Wilson  lived  in  Iloilo.  They  have  come 
to  Manila  and  now  live  in  a  house  near  ours  on 
Calle  Nueva.  We  have  a  very  nice  time  together. 
Every  afternoon  we  ride  our  ponies  on  the  Luneta. 
We  like  to  watch  the  ships  in  the  bay,  and 
always  are  looking  for  one  with  an  American  flag. 
In  the  evening  the  band  plays  on  the  Luneta,  and

LESSON  111 

Carabaos  look  quiet  and  slow ;  but  on  very  hot 
days,  when  they  cannot  find  water  to  lie  down 
in,  they  sometimes  go  mad.  Then  they  are  very 
dangerous,  and  people  are  afraid  of  them. 

One  day  I  was  in  the  market  buying  mangoes. 
Suddenly  I  heard  women  and  children  screaming 
and  saw  all  the  people  running  toward  the  gate. 
They  knocked  down  tables  and  baskets ;  meat,  fish, 
bananas,  potatoes,  and  other  things  were  scattered 
on  the  ground.  I  did  not  know  what  was  the 
matter,  or  why  they  were  afraid,  but  I  ran  too, 


PART  THREE  135 


When  we  came  to  the  gate  I  looked  back.  I 
saw  a  big  carabao  running  about  in  the  market 
overthrowing  stalls  and  breaking  them  under  his 
feet.  Following  him  w^ith  guns  were  three  police- 
men. The  carabao  jumped  over  the  fence  and  ran 
across  the  plaza  with  the  policemen  and  many 
men  running  after  him. 

That  was  the  last  I  saw  of  the  carabao,  but  the 
people  told  me  that  he  was  mad  and  that  the 
policemen  must  kill  him.

looked  back,  running  about,  overthrowing  stalls,  breaking  them  under 
his  feet,  jumped  over,  the  last  I  saw  of.  Most  of  these  expressions 
can  be  illustrated  before  the  class  by  appropriate  action.

Rafael  has  a  baby  sister.  Often  when  he  goes 
out  to  play  he  takes  her  with  him.  One  day  he 
went  to  the  river  to  catch  crabs.  He  sat  on  the 
bridge  and  placed  the  baby  beside  him. 

Rafael  had  a  long  bamboo  pole  with  a  small 
round  net  on  one  end  of  it.  As  the  crabs  came 
swimming  down  the  river,  he  would  reach  over 
quickly  and  catch  them  in  his  net.  He  had 
caught  many,  and  his  basket  was  almost  full. 

The  tide  from  the  sea  made  the  river  run 
swiftly  and  brought  the  crabs  along  very  fast. 
Rafael  was  busy  with  his  net,  when  he  saw  a  fine

far  over  the  edge  of  the  bridge  with  the  pole  in 
his  hand.  The  baby  leaned  over  too.  Suddenly 
there  was  a  splash !  The  baby  had  fallen  into  the 
water.  Quickly  dropping  his  net,  Rafael  jumped 
into  the  river;  but  before  he  could  reach  the 
baby  a  man  in  a  casco  had  pulled  her  out  of 
the  water  and  taken  her  into  his  boat. 

After  this  when  Rafael  went  to  catch  crabs  he 
left  his  little  sister  at  home.

LESSON  130 

Pablo's  grandmother  is  a  white-haired  little 
woman  almost  a  hundred  years  old.  She  knows 
many  strange  things  about  trees  and  flowers; 
about  fierce  wild  animals  in  the  mountains  and 
wonderful  fish  in  the  sea.  Pablo  likes  to  listen 
to  the  strange  stories  she  tells  as  she  sits  in  her 
big  chair  during  the  long  hot  days.  But  the 
strangest  story  of  all,  Pablo  thinks,  is  the  one 
about  the  turtle. 

"You  know,"  his  grandmother  says,  "that 
turtles  like  to  live  in  the  water;  but  long  ago 


160  LANGUAGE  LESSONS 

they  always  had  little  houses  on  land.  Some- 
times the  rivers  would  wash  the  houses  away ;  or 
the  wind  would  blow  them  over;  or  the  fireflies, 
flying  about  at  night  with  their  tiny  lamps,  would 
set  them  on  fire.  At  last  a  wise  old  turtle  said, 
*  The  only  safe  way  is  to  carry  our  houses  with 
us.'  So  he  took  his  house  on  his  back  and 
walked  off.  The  other  turtles  did  the  same 
thing,  and  from  that  day  every  turtle  has  carried 
his  house  on  his  back.  But  the  people  who  are 
not  wise  do  not  know  this,'7  the  grandmother 
says ;  "  they  think  that  the  house  is  a  part  of  the 
turtle  and  call  it  a  shell."

SANTA  ANA,  CALIFORNIA, 
Dear  Father :  November  22,  1903. 

I  felt  very  sad  when  I  said  good-bye  to  you  in 
Manila.  As  our  boat  went  out  of  the  bay,  we 
stood  on  deck  and  watched  the  city  as  long  as 
we  could  see  it.  We  talked  about  America,  what 
we  should  do  there,  and  when  we  should  receive 
our  first  letters  from  home. 

At  Hongkong  we  did  not  have  time  to  go  into 
the  city.  I  was  sorry,  because  I  wished  to  see 
where  the  Chinese  live.  Soon  I  shall  write  and

We  landed  at  San  Francisco  yesterday,  Novem-

Manila.  It  has  tall  buildings,  wide  streets,  and 
many  people  who  walk  very  fast.  They  all 
speak  English.  We  have  spoken  only  English 
since  we  left  Manila.  I  think  soon  we  shall 
know  this  language  well,  because  we  hear  it 
spoken  all  the  time. 

Eafael,  Eoque,  Marceliano,  and  I  hope  to  begin

here  the  rest  of  the  year.  Soon  I  shall  write  you 
about  the  town,  my  studies,  and  also  about  many 
other  things  in  America.  But  I  cannot  write  any 
more  now,  because  a  steamer  leaves  to-morrow  for 
the  Philippines,  and  I  wish  this  letter  to  go  on  it. 

Give  my  love  to  mother,  Milagros,  and  to  my 
friends  in  Salasa.  You  must  write  to  me  often.

washed  his  house  away,  or  the  w^ind  blew  it  over, 
or  the  fireflies  set  fire  to  it.  The  wise  old  turtle 
said  to  the  other  turtles,  '  I  must  carry  my  house

carried  it  away  with  him.  The  rest  saw  that  this 
was  a  wise  thing  to  do,  and  each  one  of  them 
took  his  house  on  his  back.  From  that  time  all 
turtles  have  carried  their  houses  in  this  way.

The  Cocoanut  Tree 

The  cocoanut  tree  is  tall  and  slender.  Its 
leaves  are  not  like  those  of  the  mango  or  the 
bamboo,  but  are  long 
and  graceful,  and  wave 
in  the  lightest  breeze. 
They  grow  from  the  top 
of  the  tree  and  among 
them  the  cocoanuts 
hang  in  clusters. 

We  get  many  useful 
things  from  the  cocoa- 
nut  tree.  The  nuts  are 
large  and  heavy.  On 
the  outside  is  a  coarse 
fiber;  within  the  fiber 
is  a  hard  brown  shell  that  covers  the  meat.  This 
meat  is  white  and  sweet,  and  is  a  good  food. 
Inside  is  a  kind  of  water  which  people  like  to 
drink.  From  the  cocoanut  meat  is  taken  a  valu- 
able oil  that  has  many  uses.  From  the  young

buds  wine  is  made.  A  man  goes  up  the  tree  and 
cuts  the  buds  with  a  bolo,  and  the  wine  runs  into 
a  long  piece  of  bamboo  which  the  man  carries  up 
with  him.  Buds  that  are  cut  in  this  way  never 
grow  into  cocoanuts,  but  they  give  wine  for 
several  months. 

Carpenters  sometimes  use  the  wood  of  this  tree  to 
build  houses.  The  leaves  are  useful  for  the  walls 
and  roof.  From  the  hard  shell  of  the  cocoanut 
are  made  cups  and  jars  to  hold  water;  from  the 
coarse  fiber  hats  are  made.  Have  you  ever  seen 
one  of  these  hats? 

This  useful  tree  grows  in  many  parts  of  the 
Philippine  Islands,  but  the  largest  and  finest  trees 
are  found  along  the  seashore  or  on  the  banks  of 
rivers.

You  have  heard  how  Pablo's  little  grandmother 
knew  the  secrets  of  the  turtle's  house.  She  knew 
many  other  secrets,  too:  w^hat  it  was  that  made 
the  owl  so  wise  and  the  fox  so  cunning;  why 
the  parrot  can  talk ;  and  why  the  monkey  looks 
so  much  like  a  man. 

"  Look  at  him,"  she  would  say  when  Pablo's  pet 
monkey  came  into  the  room  chattering  and  shak- 
ing his  head;  "  don't  you  see  he  isn't  a  beast? 
Once  upon  a  time  there  were  no  monkeys.  In  a

Have  you  ever  been  in  Manila?  If  so,  you 
have  seen  the  largest  city,  the  finest  buildings, 
and  the  most  beautiful  churches  of  the  Philip- 
pines. From  the  north  one  can  reach  Manila 
by  taking  a  steamer,  or  by  going  on  the  railroad 
from  Dagupan.  From  the  south  one  can  reach 
Manila  only  by  steamer. 

The  city  is  divided  into  two  parts  by  the  Pasig 
Eiver,  which  flows  into  the  bay  of  Manila.  There 
are  several  large  bridges  across  the  Pasig  for  the 
use  of  vehicles  and  those  who  walk.  On  the 
northern  bank  is  the  part  of  the  city  in  which 
people  do  business.  The  Escolta  is  the  street 
where  most  of  the  business  is  done.  There  are 
many  fine  stores  along  the  Escolta.  Every  day 
this  street  is  full  of  people  going  in  and  out  of  the 
shops,  laughing  and  talking  and  buying  things 
from  the  merchants,  who  are  always  glad  to  sell. 

Across  the  Pasig,  near  the  seashore,  is  the 
Luneta,  Here  the  people  come  in  the  evening 
after  the  day's  work  is  ended  to  enjoy  the  cool

Seats  are  placed  here  and  there  on  the  green  grass 
for  those  who  wish  to  sit  and  rest.  In  front  of 
these  beautiful  grounds  lies  the  bay,  where  one 
can  see  ships  of  every  nation. 

Not  far  from  the  Luneta  is  the  old  part  of  the 
city  of  Manila.  It  is  surrounded  by  a  high  wall. 
In  this  wall  are  several  large  gates  through  which 
people  and  vehicles  pass  in  and  out  all  day. 
Within  the  streets  are  narrow,  but  the  buildings 
are  large  and  some  of  them  very  handsome.  In 
this  walled  city  the  civil  governor  and  other 
officials  have  their  offices  and  do  their  work.  This 
is  a  most  interesting  old  place,  and  if  you  go  to 
Manila  ou  must  see  it.
